I enjoyed watching Twitch streamers play this game

[사랑한데이]

Hi I have never played the Lost Ark, but I enjoyed watching Twitch streamers play this game when it came out a few years ago in Korea and now as for the European and American release. I think i have watched people playing this game for more than 10 days. I have watched Quin69, Datmodz, Asmongold, Esfand, and Shroud play this game.

1. Originality
There has been many similar fantasy genre games with the 3 person point of view. If I were to compare this game to Baldurs Gate 2 or Dragon Age Origins, this game lacks original immersive captivating story arc. If you want to forget about the real world and be immersed with the protagonist in a fantasy setting, I would recommend Baldurs Gate 2 or Dragon Age Origins.

2. Freshness and repeatability
I have played World of Warcraft Classic. The end game contents of WOW were 40 people raids. WOW has been the most successful Massively Multiplayer Online RolePlaying Game. The Lost Ark's end game contents is also a raid. People say that the end game has a content similar to Monster Hunter franchise. Having a similar previously successful end game structure will be advantageous in future Europian and American user retention rate. Every game dies eventually. But having over 1 million peak concurrent users kinda guarantees you that you will not be ghosted by other people. It has proven record of 2 years of refreshing playable contents. The number of people playing this game will certainly drop, but you will have other people to play the end game contents with. There are many well designed and effort heavy good quality games in coming. Everyone gets bored playing the same thing over and over again. This game is free to play so while you wait for the blockbuster well made rpg games to drop you can play this game.

3. Equal opportunity and fair winning chances
This game is free to play, BUT it has an in-game real money transaction that will help you to save time and effort playing the game. If you want to become THE BEST and THE STRONGEST without grinding the game doing nothing else life has to offer, you will probably consider spending euros or dollars to ease your progression. Yes, this game is Pay to Win. It tries to be fair when it comes to spending real money I would say this game is not money grabbing like most gacha games, but still says 'please give us money so you can be more free in the game system.' I would say this game has a Hearthstone level of money spending encouragability.

4. Creative control and quality of components
I hear good things about combat graphic aspect of the game. I think this game has the best combat graphics. The scenery looks detailed and pretty. I would say that pretty and awesome graphics in this game helps people be more pleasant and happy.

5. Learning and mastering the game
This game has a complex system where you have to put effort in some logical brain cells to comprehend. The game has damage dealing classes and supporting classes. I would say that this game will NOT provide the pleasure of mastering your mouse movability in competitive games like Valorant, Overwatch, League of Legends. It's rather shallow compared to those competitive games. But it is in MMORPG scale of masterability at least decent. Have you played Elder Scroll: Skyrim or Dragon Age: Inquisition? It has a similar depth compared to those RPGs.

TLDR: If you want to get immersed and want an absolute best quality of contents, I would go for the classics like Baldur's Gate 1 and 2, Dragon Age: Origins, but if you were to feel lonely and want to feel the presence of real people characters around you here and there and rather want to have more stimulating graphics and combat mechanics, I would say yeah playing the Lost Ark for free will make your life better.

Because everything has to be a comparison to something else. Might as well be like Asmongold and compare every single mechanic and technical achievement to Darksouls.

Then go play those other games to keep yourself occupied off those thoughts, because your post is nothing but a narcissistic prod at the community.
